nanner said:I am making salmon (probably with rosemary, butter & oil) and I dunno what
else. i am on Atkins Induction and want to make nice things everyone can
eat - it's just us and another couple. i figure I can make a salad w/oil &
vinegar and have italian bread for the guests. then maybe make broccoli (i
make that with garlic and oil) and I just won't eat too much of it...
what's an idea for a veggie on the side that's not too carby and not too
boring? What goes nicely with Salmon - I think the broccoli may be too
"heavy". Maybe I'll do asparagus?
